FOR TODAY, February 16, 2021
Outside my window ...
The calm before the storm. Nothing is moving. Not even a mouse. All's quiet on the front.
We are supposed to get an ice storm. We shall see what happens next.
I am thinking ...
Sorry for my absence yesterday. I had a bad day.
I am thankful for...
The ability to shake off the bad. I usually find if I listen to some good and wholesome music, read some inspirational stuff, watch nice tv, etc. it usually helps. As does prayer.
In the kitchen ...
World's Best Silver Dollar Pancakes. Happy Pancake Day.
On my "To Cook" list ...
The Girl on Bloor. Chicken Wonton Tacos. These look fabulous!
Good to know ...
I am wanting to create ...
How To Build It. No Sew Curtain Tutorials.
Crochet 365. Fields and Furrows Blanket.
Fuzzpot Girl on Flickr. Cathy Come Home Blanket. Love the colours.
A Rose Tinted World. Reusable Swifter Cover.
Polka Dot Chair. Round Trinket Boxes.
I am reading ...
When We Were Strangers, by Pamela Schoenewldt
"If
you leave Opi, you'll die with strangers," Irma Vitale's mother always
warned. Even after her beloved mother's passing, 20-year-old Irma longs
to stay in her Abruzzo mountain village, plying her needle. But too poor
and plain to marry and subject to growing danger in her own home, she
risks rough passage to America and workhouse servitude to achieve her
dream of making dresses for gentlewomen.
In the raw immigrant quarters and with the help of an entrepreneurial
Irish serving girl, ribbon-decked Polish ragman and austere Alsatian
dressmaker, Irma begins to stitch together a new life . . . until her
peace and self are shattered in the charred remains of the Great Chicago
Fire. Enduring a painful recovery, Irma reaches deep within to find
that she has even more to offer the world than her remarkable ability
with a needle and thread
Looking Forward To ...
Setting up a new home. My mind is awash with plans.
Dreaming about ...
Red work embroidery . . .
Bird houses . . .
Pretty maids all in a row . . .
Red and White Cannisters . . .
Wooden clothes pegs . . .
Something to watch ...

Makes me smile ...

One of my favourite things ...
Vintage Greeting Cards . . .
Corners of my kingdom ...
